How Fast Can a Cash Home Sale Close?

If you’re considering selling to a cash home buying company, you may be concerned about exactly how fast you can close. Unlike a traditional home sale, which can drag on for months, fast cash home sales almost always close within 30 days, and often within a week or so.

Getting Ready to Sell

One of the biggest time-savers in a cash home sale is that you don’t have to make repairs. Since you don’t list your home on the market when selling to a cash buying company, you don’t have to worry about the appearance of your home or attracting potential buyers. 

A cash home buying company will purchase your house “as is,” without requiring you to fix anything, clean it up, or replace anything that’s broken. This can cut weeks off the selling process and can save you money right at the start.

Getting the Offer

Selling to a cash home buyer is not a marketing process. Your home will not be advertised on the internet, and you won’t have groups of strangers walking through your home to look at it. You don’t have to wait for weeks until someone makes an offer.

Instead, you just contact the cash home buying company and request a cash offer. A representative from the company may come out to meet with you. Then, within a day or so, you’ll have the offer in hand to consider.

Signing the Papers

If you decide to accept the offer, you will be asked to set a closing date. A cash home buying company already has the money to pay you, so you don’t have to wait while they arrange financing. There are also no inspections or appraisals.

The paperwork can usually be arranged within a week or so, but you can schedule the closing whenever it is convenient for you. The home buying company will process the paperwork, and all you do is sign and hand over the keys.

Start to finish, you can close on a cash home sale within 30 days, and often well before that. Compare this with the typical 60-90 days it takes to sell your home the traditional way. If you want to sell quickly, a cash home buying company could be your best option.
